Alex's Game Report

Still feels a little strange watching on a Sunday evening, but at least it doesn't clash with other programmes and will probably attract a few more viewers who would otherwise not see the show. There was some careful editing at the start to cut-out Noel's welcome to the Saturday show, he YET again mentions the lack of the £250,000 not appearing on the 'pound table'.

It’s Alex’s turn at the ‘Pound table’ today, he has box 11, we hear that Alex has the nickname 'Noddy' due to his similarity in ear size! - Noel says that rings a bell!! Alex has his dad in the audience for support today, we also see a few pics.

Round 1
20 - £10,000 a few intakes of breath
17 - 1p BIG cheers and feet stomping for the 1p
1 - 50p more cheers
9 - £10
4 - £50,000 Gasps for that one

Alex says he has been very honest while on the wings with his advice to the contestants. There is a little edit slip where Alex talks about Susannah's game yesterday! rather than Friday's game. The banker says he hopes Alex appreciates that this offer is LOBES of money and it might look familiar, he offers £8,008, Alex says NO DEAL

Round 2
10 - £100
13 - £1
22 - £3,000

A nice round and Alex agrees by saying it's going well at the moment, the banker thinks this offer will turn Noddy into Mr Wobbly Man!!! He makes an offer of £17,500. Alex says that's a good offer and Noel says it's a very good offer. Alex goes to Jeff who says it's a good offer but it's also a strong board. Alex says NO DEAL

Round 3
Noel potentially jinxes' the round by saying there have been loads of disasters following a nice high offer!!!
7 - £20,000 silence at first!!! NOEL!!!!!
14 - £250 Big cheers
19 - £75,000 ooooohhhss!!!! NOEL!!!! Another Noel Jinx?!?!?

The banker is fascinated that Alex went to Jeff 'The gambler' for advice last time, he then offers £12,000. Alex says NO DEAL

Round 4
Noel goes to Alex's dad to see how the game is going, he says that Alex has loads of courage
18 - £250,000 Groans all around
21 - £35,000 The safety net goes
15 - £50 TAX FREE Harry delivers

Noel asks if Alex's (Noddy's) car is key start or button start! The banker thinks that Alex will not risk playing to the end and potentially leave with nothing, he offers £7,500. Alex calls his dad down for some advice and then says NO DEAL

Round 5
A few muffled chants of BLUE BLUE
8 - £1,000
Chants are a LOT LOUDER this time
3 - 10p
More chants
5 - £100,000

The highest red remaining is now £15,000, the banker calls and offers £2,500. Alex goes to Jeff who says that it's now a straightforward gamble, Lisa says to carry on. Alex struggles on the decision and Jeff says if it's a difficult decision then he should take the money now, Noel goes to Harry for the TAX FREE quote! Alex says NO DEAL

Round 6
Chants of BLUE BLUE
12 - £15,000
2 - £5,000 GAME OVER!! Silence in the studio
16 - £500

With £5 and £750 left the banker offers £250, Alex says NO DEAL. The banker calls back and offers Alex the chance to swap boxes, Alex declines the swap offer.

Noel opens Alex’s box 11 and reveals £5! Box 6 contains the £750.

Alex goes away with £5
